I have over 15 years of experience with Photoshop and Illustrator. I recently canceled my CC sub, and bought Designer and Photo. Your videos have helped me on transitioning over.
Hey thanks Cole I try as a recovering Adobe guy......glad I could help...we r gonna do some amazing stuff in 2019.....looking forward to working with you guys in 2019
Me too! Over 16 years in the trade show industry. After losing job because of Covid, we in the graphics dept. also lost our Adobe licenses. Then, along came Affinity. Hallelujah moment! I purchased all 3 Affinity programs and I'm absolutely loving it! No more monthly Adobe subcriptions for me!
THIS is exactly the step-by-step video I needed to create a distress look for a logo I'm creating! Really easy to understand the steps! Thanks a million :)
The fact that something needs to be "rasterized" to be used as a mask is so annoying... like if they couldn't cope with that internally. All that layer system is weak and outdated... I hope they gonna fix that. Great tut.
Thanks....yeah I don't even get the "rasterize option to be able to select from an image layer....and for that fact let's ask why there are vector layers as an option....when u make a curve it creates a vector layer ...lol. some of the weird things
Very interesting. Is it possible to turn the textures into styles & change colors, add fx etc? Does this now function as a vector tool or raster? Is it scalable?
I haven’t seen you post in a while would mean a lot to creators and the affinity design world if you did mock up videos I followed your t shirt one can you make one for trucker hats and jogger pants a lot more brands are doing streetwear would mean a lot if you posted this content I just subscribed just in case you do please please please
Could you please address the function of having the texture layer above and below the image? I"m sure there's a good reason but this newb doesn't know it. Unless it's to have something to start with if you loathe your result on the upper layer.
It's amazing how such a simple process can escape you if you don't know how. I've been trying to something similar to this, and failing. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks a great Tutorial you have a wonderful ability to convey information and performing a second operation on different image is just what suits me but I'm sure others will agree.
This video is so helpful especially for a beginner like me we don't find so many tutorials like this for affinity designer 😭😭 thank you thank you thank you
Thank you for showing how to create the texture overlays themselves. Most tutorials only show how to put them in the program and use them, not create them. Great video!
Awesome......glad I can help ya out.....I found it super confusing as well.....so I figured it out out of necessity....lol. thought it might help other people
Thanks.....I'm working on a few more, I definitely found a good group of people using Affinity, so I think this is going to be the software I specialize in
No......they are both color. The you do desaturate the top 1 to make it black and white..that is the first adjustment , then then apply the levels to the same layer......so all of the action happens on the top. If you want to send me an email with the file I can diagnose it....I want to make sure my tutorials work for my tribe........ jhazel@7thseasonstudios.com J
Im new to design, in your first part you hit rasterize to mask only and on the second part you did rasterize and a couple steps later you did rasterize to mask. Is either acceptable or was there a reason the two textures were done a little different. Or did I miss something? Thanks
Good question .......because the 1st image was already cropped I could skip the rasterize to mask step........ However in the 2nd image of the speaker I had to crop the image....and to apply the crop I had to rasterize it FIRST. You will notice AFTER I rasterized the crop......I did the same thing I did in the first one.......so in short , I had to rasterize to apply the crop in the speaker example
Remember that in order to do some things in digital art you have to RASTERIZE the layer to finalize some effects. Images are different than vector layers and raster art is different than vector art.....so sometimes if it si not working try rasterizing the layer J
7th Season Studios Ok , thanks. Trying to come up with t-shirt designs and have a long way to go but i am getting there thanks to videos like yours! Tom

What a great tutorial! I love how you showed that you could take a picture of a speaker and then make a texture. 🙂
Thank you. Step by step with perfect instructions.
amazing 😁

Another 'go-ahead'-er.
This guy does a perfect imitation of Tom Hanks' voice! :)
"And I just kept on running"
Simple to do and super method, thank you.
Very interesting. Is it possible to turn the textures into styles & change colors, add fx etc? Does this now function as a vector tool or raster? Is it scalable?
Why do many people duplicate the image, instead of just working with one? I don't see the background image having any purpose...
I haven’t seen you post in a while would mean a lot to creators and the affinity design world if you did mock up videos I followed your t shirt one can you make one for trucker hats and jogger pants a lot more brands are doing streetwear would mean a lot if you posted this content I just subscribed just in case you do please please please
What is the purpose of duplicating the texture image and moving it to the bottom of the layer stack? You get the same results without that extra step.
Could you please address the function of having the texture layer above and below the image? I"m sure there's a good reason but this newb doesn't know it. Unless it's to have something to start with if you loathe your result on the upper layer.

Awesome .....glad you are digging it....we want to be 5 staar from beginning to end so keep the questions coming
Thanks so much....your support means everything ...that's why i do it
I tried this multiple times and it didn’t reveal the png or black text at all... do both images have to be grayscale?
No......they are both color. The you do desaturate the top 1 to make it black and white..that is the first adjustment , then then apply the levels to the same layer......so all of the action happens on the top.
